Distractions
Directed by Aleksi Salmenperä
Produced by MJÖLK Movies
A darkly comedic, surreal meditation on life's interruptions and the passage of time, blending absurdist humor with existential weight across multiple characters' lives.
Distracted by life, Mr. Makkonen misses his engagement party by decades. From the cradle to the grave, life keeps interrupting, not only him, but a tired mother, a doomed superhero and the rest of the comrades in this uncontrollable world. Mixing comedy and fantasy with dark stories, Distractions will deliver the laughs with strings attached.
